What do you want to see in Tactical Gear?

[Darius137]

5.) What is the standard load of gear you use for airsoft, and if a chest rig was made speficially for an airsofter's loadout, what pouches would you need to hold what gear, in a perfect world?

some sort of pouch designed specifically to hold speedloaders (the small ones) and a pouch made to hold a bottle of bbs (preferably somehow soundproofed so they can't hear you coming)

Speedloader pouch. Aye aye. Almost a Gerber sized pouch, then?

As for making a bottle of BB's not rattle... the technology is not there yet.

6.) Anything else you'd like to add.

A different system besides buttons or velcro to fasten flap and such. I was thinking magnets. strong enough to keep it closed but not strong enough to make it an issue. all this again for the silence factor. No such thing as a sneaky reload when your mag pouch is secured with velcro.

They have magnets right now to keep mags in place in shingles, but they aren't as useful in airsoft because airsoft uses metal made out of mud mixed with Chinese shame. My RS STANAG mags will hold, and I can even put one on the outside using the magnet for a funny look in CQB.

Also some sort of ghillie top that was actually molle attachable to comfortably wear over your tac vest yet not have to worry about it falling off.

The idea for the Ghillie would be attachment using the Boonie caps and baseball caps that I'd be making as well. As for MOLLE attachment on the Arms, mebbe.

What kind of fixtures are you planning on using? Attachment systems?

Personally, I'd like to see more snaps over buckles as they require less fine motor skills. They do take a bit longer to secure, but nothing some velcro can't fix.

What webbing are you planning on using? What about fabric weight? I ask because there are some types of webbing that are light, but they don't stay secure with buckles so they keep sliding which is freaking annoying. Old school HSGI stuff uses a really heavy duty webbing that was great for use with buckles as it wouldn't go anywhere.

For attachment to the vest themselves we have a light MOLLE with two built in fingers to weave through. They can also be removed and a STRIKE / MALICE clip can be used if someone so desires.

The materials will be in 500d Nylon and elastic, in a sort of bastard child of a Nazi smock, a BFG 10 speed gear pouch and a TACO. 1000d will also be available in some patterns.

The closures on the pouches will be tested in a few varieties. Buckles are annoying and bulky, snaps are hard to repair in the field and velcro is hard to repair and noisy. Also not a solid seal.

We're having it done by 3rd party on a piece by piece basis so through the website's GUI you can choose a closure system of your place. We'll have quiet loop, regular velcro, bungee, magnets and a tab that's 100% nylon. Standard will be the 100% nylon tab.

split front P90 chest rig. 2-3 mags on each side. Take every effort to make it as low-profile as possible, in black.

I have an idea for angled P90 quick-draw shingle magazine pouches with a thumb break that I think you'll literally ejaculate after trying.

[Darius137]

Am i the only one who's jaw is hitting the floor when people say they will pay $300 and $600 for a PC for airsoft? FOR AIRSOFT? I thought saying i would pay over $100 was high, especially since i paid $20 for mine used at the expo.

Some people use them outside of airsoft. Some people are willing to pay for quality.

Yup. You're a cheapass.

How about an admin pouch like this

http://www.skdtac.com/Tactical-Tailor-A ... tt.196.htm

Only being 5 columns down instead of the 2 it has now. I love the design, it just needs a bit of reworking. I'd like to see a shear sheath on the back and an elastic holster (for lack of a better term) for a multitool. I'd also want some more elastic on the inside of the front flap that could hold a bunch of batteries (AAs, AAAs, 9V, 123s, maybe a way to hold button cells). Ohh, and I'd want it in khaki, not that gross pencott

Also, to answer your question about chest rigs, I'd love something similar to my RRV I was using at Carrie's skirm. The basic design is great, it just could use a bit of streamlining. I'd want the bib ditched since I don't use it, the snaps to make the rig smaller removed, the ALICE webbing removed, and a more streamlined setup to connect the rear plate carrier. I'll have something drawn up when I'm not full of lazy.
